Handy Man

I don't really like making cards for men, its so hard!


The image is Carpenter Joe from Tiddly Inks and is coloured with a combination of promarkers and copics.  The papers are arranged to look like pieces of wood nailed together with brads.  I am quite pleased with it afterall.

Celebrating a big one!

So its my boyfriends Grans 90th birthday next week so I made this little cutie.  I hope it does the occasion justice.


The stamp is from LOTV and is coloured with a combination of promarkers and copics.  The papers are all from stash and I think came free with a magazine.  I have made the felt flowers using the Spellbinders bitty blossoms dies, their first outing and I had so much fun with these.  Its also my first go with using Tim Holtz distress inks, I used Vintage Photo to edge everything and un-white the image background.

Marvellous Monochrome

So my first go at the monochrome grey scale look.  Have to say I am quite pleased with the finished product.


The image is from Saturated Canary and is called 'Boobielove'.  I have coloured the image with a combination of flexmarkers, promarkers and one grey copic ciao.  I have added anitas gems, liquid pearls grey ribbon with a runched look and a self made bow with a pearl dangling embellishment.  The pinkpaper is embossed with a cuttlebug embossing folder and machine.
